Psalm 13 Prayer

Most High God,

The circumstances of this day look very dark, as if you have largely hidden your face from your people and the enemy triumphs over us.  We ask you to give light to our eyes so we can see how you have planned to further your Kingdom through this day and time.  As we trust in you - and maybe before we even have total trust - may we rejoice in you.  Help us to remember to sing your praise for you have been good to us.  Help us to praise you even if the victory hasn't been fully manifested.  All honor and glory, power and praise belong to you, O Lord, our Rock, our Redeemer, our Comforter, and our Shield.  We praise you for the victory you have over the forces of evil!  

In Jesus's name, Amen and Amen!

1

How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?

    How long will you hide your face from me?

2 

How long must I wrestle with my thoughts

    and day after day have sorrow in my heart?

    How long will my enemy triumph over me?

3 

Look on me and answer, Lord my God.

    Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,

4 

and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”

    and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

5 

But I trust in your unfailing love;

    my heart rejoices in your salvation.

6 

I will sing the Lord’s praise,

    for he has been good to me.
